If this is the wrong place to post, let me know I will move it.
Theres a website called collegecandy.com that I waste time on all the time. Well there's a new column about sorority life and recruitment da de da da da, I know there's posting after posting about that on here. ANYWAYS, rambling on...I saw this comment from someone and it has kinda stuck with me since I saw it.
Sometimes I feel like my college experience has been a huge disappointment. I didn’t realize how big of a deal sororities were, I came from a small town so no one that I knew of had ever been in one. When I got to school I saw all these pretty girls all together with their letters. I was so intimidated. I wanted to be in one so bad, but really my parents couldn’t afford it and neither could I. I considered rushing the next year (after getting a job!), but I kinda got on bad terms with a girl (well she ended up being on bad terms with everyone and was later kicked out of her sorority for too many standards violations), but I figured if I tried rushing I would just be laughed in my face. I transferred schools and I figured that I was too old for a sorority but one of my classmates invited me to a open bidding event and I was offered a bid. I hung out with the girls a few times but I never felt a connection and I ended up dropping. I know that was my chance right there but why stick with something when I wouldn’t be happy with it? But now looking back I see that I wish I would’ve known about the whole Greek life scene from the beginning. I’m graduating soon and I don’t feel like I had that great of a college experience. Am I putting too much on not being in a sorority? I think they are great and everything, but is it really as glamorous as it seems? I see all these girls that always have something fun to do and friends to be with. I still don’t know that many people at my school so there are alot of times I am lonely and think about my regrets with rushing. Are there other people that feel this way too or should I just get over it?
Now, I understand SOMEWHAT where they are coming from. I got a late start to my sorority and I remember hoping I could find that kind of friendship, but I got a snap bid and wahhlaah I'm a Kappa
BUT, I just want to know peoples opinions of this. Sometimes things just stick with you and you want to talk about them. This is my thing. I see that she had a bid to somewhere but later dropped because of "no connection", but is that typical of people who join later in their college years? I know I was a bit older than most of my pledge class but we got along great. Anyways, opinions are appreciated.
